Color of Woman
Episode 14
[My Boy's Girlfriend]
Yes, Director Park.
I've found out what secret Director Kang has been hiding.
So Ra.
I was just going to call you.
Sunbae, I'm sorry but I can't come today.
I forgot that it's Chan Jin's mother's anniversary today.
I don't know if you are fine about this.
It's fine.
Go and be with Chan Jin.
Sunbae, you're not angry, right?
Tell Chan Jin for me...
that I won't be able to come over.
Be careful.
They received the same amount of water and sunlight,
but some lived and others died.
What do you think?
Whether you live or die depends on you, don't you think?
Is today the anniversary of that person?
It has been 15 years now.
How is Jun Su doing at the company lately?
He seems to be adapting quite well.
Isn't that a good thing?
My opinion that Director Kang should be the head manager hasn't changed.
It's the head manager.
What is it?
I'm coming over now.
I have something to ask you.
Why can't you ask me over the phone?
Ask me now.
It's about Chan Jin's mother.
Then there is no need for you to come over.
Father.
I have nothing to say about that matter.
I have a guest here so I'm hanging up.
It would be better if he took more interest in important matters than unimportant ones.
Don't they say that men will grow up when they get married?
The head manager has reached the age for marriage
so why aren't you concerned about that?
I've had a potential bride for him since he was little.
Really?
Director Park.
I'm sorry but can you help me to look into it a little more?
Thank you.
Yes.
So Ra.
Since I've started dating, I've been in a trance.
I've turned into a forgetful Byun So Ra, right?
What about your date with Hyung? Why did you come here?
I got his permission.
He said you could come?
He said he was sorry he couldn't come.
Sunbae is a very forgiving person.
What is this?
Lunch.
There are your favorite egg rolls inside.
I've given up on So Ra's cooking.
I can tell you want to eat it.
You know you can't lie to me.
Do you still remember the first time I took you here?
How could I forget?
I thought I came to have fun, so I was quite shocked when you took me here.
I even said hello to your mother.
From then on, I have been here every year to see her.
I wanted to date you from that time on.
Hey Kang Chan Jin, did you like me?
From when university started...
You really have an eye for women.
You put your efforts into everything and is fair about everything.
I could never say I didn't like you.
If my Madam Lee Jung was alive, she'd definitely make you her daughter-in-law.
What? Are you joking with me?
You miss your mother don't you?
What kind of a person was she?
She was a cosmetics sales person.
She was Director Seong's sunbae.
I see.
She died in a car accident.
From when I became an orphan,
the president helped at the employee welfare program and started taking care of me.
Then he took me to their house to live with him and Jun Su hyung.
If it wasn't for the president, I wouldn't be here today.
I am very thankful and grateful.
I have to return that generosity.
I was afraid of your expression which is why I didn't want to tell you.
You're too much. You haven't told me anything until now.
What is this?
He'll forget, I'll give it to him when I get off.
Didn't you say you'd be late? You're home early.
I only did half the work and then came home.
I'm sorry I couldn't be there with you today.
I never take care of madam’s birthday, even though she is alive.
Isn't that because she's in America?
I didn't give her a card even when she was in Korea.
I don't know why she hates me so much.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry.
What are you sorry for?
What about dinner?
I've eaten.
So Ra has eaten too.
I got your message.
Is it a night cat date?
So Ra.
Let's go to America.
You can go and continue your studies and I can carry on with mine.
What about the company?
Chan Jin's there.
What's wrong? You don't like it?
I don't need to answer straight away, right?
If you tell me now, then I'll be very happy.
Sunbae, you're acting strange today.
Why do I feel so uneasy?
Let's first exchange our pledges.
Have you thought about what will happen if one violates it?
One billion.
The violator has to pay one billion.
That doesn't make sense.
One billion means nothing to Sunbae.
But to me, it means a lot.
Are you trying to take away the right to that one billion?
Everything will be fine as long as the pledge is not violated.
Do you know what my pledge is?
I never want to break up with you.
So, as long as we don't break up it's all right.
I'll think about it.
Our So Ra is so calm, that's a problem.
Our So Ra?
That sounds nice.
Is this all?
What is this?
He'll forget, I'll give it to him when I get off.
Oh right, it must be important.
I'll give it to him at work.
This has just been launched so it's hot.
It's not hot because it just got launched.
It's because the reaction is really hot.
They called and said they wanted to do an interview.
An interview?
No one even cares to interview me even though I'm the one behind the brand name.
People don't care about who came up with the brand name.
Really?
Ye Jin is my heart.
Assistant Manager Song has turned from a fox to a cat since you started dating.
Have you seen such a beautiful cat before?
Assistant Manager Byun, what do you think?
As a friend and a partner, I feel very proud.
The star!
Wow, is that really me?
Thank you!
Even her voice is nice.
So Ra, thank you too!
What for?
What if it's important?
I'll give it to him when I see him.
Did he or didn't he open it yet?!
Where's Director Kang?
The special line team has just finished their meeting.
Are you sure you placed it next to Director Kang's mother's urn?
Yes, of course.
I even saw him take the letter with him.
Then shouldn't he come to find me then?
Welcome, Director Kang.
I've been waiting for you.
I have something to say.
Go ahead, whatever your request is I will adhere to it.
The budget for the special line seems a bit tight.
The special line?
You want to pour money into Yoon Jun Su's project?!
Didn't you just say you can adhere to whatever I wanted?
It seems you haven't looked at it yet.
You're not pretending you haven't seen it, are you?
The letter next to my mother's urn, it was you who put it there?
Even if a child doesn’t want to eat, you can’t starve him, right?
You will starve yourself.
If I said I will believe it, then I will.
There is no way you will destroy the relationship I have with Hyung.
If you continue like this, then I will go directly to the president.
Don't believe me.
I'll just have to give it to someone who will.
Let's take a break, Assistant Manager Byun.
Why don't you take a break, Mi Sook?
I'll bring this over and then come back.
It's tiring being in your team, Assistant Manager Byun.
I can't even have my lunch, what is this?
I will buy kimbap and some drinks.
I'm sorry, Mi Sook.
After being removed from the special line project,
you must be feeling quite low doing odd jobs like these.
But it’s not something you can blame the company for.
Although it’s okay to blame the head manager...
There's nothing I'm not happy about.
I will take responsibility and do my best.
What a good attitude.
I was like you when I was younger.
But those younger years seemed short.
If I could go back to that time, I wouldn't waste time over minor matters.
Thank you for your reminder.
I'll be on my way then.
Let me give you another reminder.
Do you know about the relationship between Director Kang's mother and President Yoon?
What?
It would get very messy if Director Kang knew about how his mother actually died.
Don't you want to stop Director Kang and the head manager from becoming rivals?
I think only Assistant Manager Byun can deal with this.
I'm not someone who goes around spreading rumors.
There is a lot of evidence to confirm it.
If you need one, you know where to find me.
Carry on.
Do you know about the relationship between Director Kang's mother and President Yoon?
What?
It would get very messy if Director Kang knew about how his mother actually died.
How did you get so dusty?
I was tidying up the makeup room.
If I transferred you to a more easygoing department then...
All right, I know.
I was halfway in the middle of work, what did you want to see me for?
I can't make it to our date tonight.
Is something wrong?
My father wants to see me.
Sunbae, Chan Jin's mother passed away due to a traffic accident.
Do you know about that?
No, why do you ask?
Nothing, I'm just curious.
You know that I can't help myself when I get curious.
Just focus on me, Byun So Ra.
If you think there will be an argument, then I'll go with you.
Am I still a child?
Of course you'll argue.
If it starts to go wrong then call me.
Thanks.
Why do you keep saying sorry and thank you lately? What's wrong?
It's because I'm thankful and sorry.
I'm going.
Yes, Father, I'm on my way now.
Which hotel?
Your personality hasn't changed one bit.
You've become handsome though.
It's normal for you to not recognize me, I've changed a lot.
Hwang Yeon Ji.
What? You recognized me that quickly?
I even carved my bones to become beautiful.
The way you speak hasn't changed.
Is that really your reaction?
Why have you come out on an arranged marriage meeting?
Because the person I was engaged to ran off to America, why?
Is it because of me?
For the sake of our friendship, you should at least have dinner with me before leaving.
There are people outside watching us.
Just exactly how much trouble are you in that there are people watching you?
If I wasn't in trouble, then I would have gotten married and had kids already.
Didn't you have a girlfriend while you were in America?
Now that Manager Park knows, it makes me feel uneasy.
What if Director finds out one day?
We're going to be dead.
Before that happens, we'll blackmail Manager Park and tell him to shut his mouth.
We have to bear with it, we must stay calm.
What's the matter, Jason?
I know everything.
You know what?
That the two of you are husband and wife...
I'm leaving now.
Aren't you the model who got chosen?
I have something to say to you, Director.
What is it?
I just heard it, it's nothing major.
I'm afraid he will waste your time, please just ignore him.
Secretary Nam, remove your hand.
Speak.
Actually...
I really respect you, Director.
He said he respects me so why did you have to cover his mouth?
Secretary Nam, are you jealous of Jason?
If it’s a tree you cannot climb, don't even bother staring at it, please.
When you break up with this man, come to me.
I will wait for you.
Jason is so cool!
What?
I'm not very comfortable with this kind of arrangement.
It's fortunate that Yoon Ji is compatible with you.
Don't mess this up.
Am I in the right mood to be on an arranged marriage meeting?
About Chan Jin's mother's death...
Is it true that you have something to do with it?
That's all in the past now.
Why are you digging it up now?
So it is true.
What's going to happen if Chan Jin finds out?
Don't do anything stupid.
Aren't you leaving Yoon Ji on her own for too long?
I'm hanging up.
Are you going to keep showing that forced expression?
Is it really obvious?
You should feel honored, I don't just meet anyone.
Let's go and eat something good to get you in better spirits.
If we get too close, our parents will be disappointed.
Let's not make them disappointed then.
It's cold!
Have you just finished work?
That's what us employees do.
Wow, so even Byun So Ra buys meals from the convenience store.
After tidying up the makeup room, my fingers don't want to move anymore.
You should treat yourself to something delicious.
Why didn't you offer to buy for me?
Oh right, that day you left a letter that your mother left you in your car.
I had it with me and I wanted to give it back.
I kept forgetting but don't worry, I have it with me now.
Throw it away.
Can it be thrown?
I thought it was something important.
It's trash.
Don't you want to stop Director Kang and the head manager from becoming rivals?
I think only Assistant Manager Byun can deal with this.
If you're not happy with Jun Su sunbae, then tell me.
I can rectify the problem.
Why are you telling me that?
When Jun Su sunbae and I argue, you're always there to resolve it.
You just look after yourself and don't worry about me and Hyung.
Hyung's already back.
Go inside, it's cold.
You go inside first.
We're not dating so you hurry and go inside.
Fine, all right.
You didn't have an argument with your father again, did you?
We would have had to meet to start an argument.
I saw Yoon Ji today.
Yoon Ji noona?
Hyung, were you on an arranged marriage date with Yoon Ji noona today?
I guess so.
Yoon Ji was happy to hear that you and I live together now.
You should go and meet her.
Is Yoon Ji noona your fiancée?
On the day she entered university, the talk of engagement started.
I wasn't present then.
Oh, really?
The elders arranged everything.
But you know that Yoon Ji and I are just friends.
Like you and So Ra...
Why isn't Yoon Ji noona married?
Officially, it seems she told her parents it was because I had not returned from America.
What about unofficially?
When everyone was pushing her to get married,
I returned to Korea just at the right time.
Get married?
Get married.
What did Yoon Ji noona say?
Don't joke.
That's her character.
Eat slowly, I still have some budget matters to work on.
So Ra...
When are you going to introduce her to the president?
Is my father's approval that important?
I don't want So Ra to get hurt, Chan Jin.
Hyung, you know too that So Ra is a strong girl.
It's a problem that you need to face sooner or later.
I'll help you.
There's no need for you to worry.
Don't worry.
Since there's nothing to worry about...
So Ra.
You need to grow up well.
I heard that Jin Ju and Eason have two interviews.
What is Eason?
How can you call our company model that name?
Then should I call him Mr. Jason?
Byun So Ra, please continue to take full responsibility for Jin Ju.
Is the interview prepared?
I think most of the questions will center around
how she became the face of a cosmetics brand from a regular employee.
So I've prepared a few questions and answers which relate to that topic.
Okay.
Jason, have a look at this.
Thank you.
Let's do our best today.
Assistant Manager Song just take a rest.
How can I rest?
The company won't run if I take a rest.
If you weren't here, my heart would stop, stop!
I think it was better when they were secretly dating.
My thoughts exactly.
My ideal type is a mature man?
Because you are a very simple white collar worker.
Why am I simple? I'm Wang Jin Ju.
The magazine readers hope to see this answer.
Are you telling me to lie?
Hey, so do you want to say
you are someone who likes men with money, potential, and looks?
Hang on.
That's you, Byun So Ra.
What?
There's the head manager who has money, potential, and looks.
He's the one you like.
Wang Jin Ju is completely correct.
You're the public enemy, Byun So Ra; and I, Wang Jin Ju, is loved by people.
Don't you think everyone has changed the way they see us?
Excuse me.
Yoon Ji noona?
Kang Chan Jin!
You're all grown up!
What are you doing here, Noona?
You're not here to see Jun Su hyung are you?
The fiancée wants to have lunch with him.
Is that strange?
There's a lot of people in the company.
I see no problem if I become a hot topic around the office.
Walk with me.
A memorable present would be a branded bag?
That's the truth.
Don't try to be kind.
Hey, Wang Jin Ju, you need to tidy up your image.
I'm here to see Head Manager Yoon Jun Su.
His schedule doesn't have an appointment to see anyone.
Do you have a private appointment with the head manager?
There's no need for that.
I am Yoon Jun Su's fiancée.
A memorable present would be a branded bag?
That's the truth.
Don't try to be kind.
Hey, Wang Jin Ju, you need to tidy up your image.
I'm here to see Head Manager Yoon Jun Su.
His schedule doesn't have an appointment to see anyone.
Do you have a private appointment with the head manager?
There's no need for that.
I am Yoon Jun Su's fiancée.
Jin Ju, Director's office...
Are you the youngest daughter of the Sun Group, Hwang Yeon Ji?
Yes, that's right.
The president mentioned your name before.
Are you here to see the head manager?
Yes.
Jin Ju, hurry up.
Yes.
This way please.
Come with me.
Sit down.
Jun Su sunbae has a fiancée?
Hyung and Yoon Ji noona are just friends.
Hyung told me he saw her for the first time yesterday since he returned from America.
Yesterday?
Didn't he go to see the President yesterday?
Hyung didn't know he would see Yoon Ji noona there.
I heard you have spiders as pets in your office.
There isn't any.
I moved them home.
You said you want to save lives.
Was that a success?
Why aren't you living your presidential dream, Hwang Yeon Ji?
Dreams break easily.
There is one last dream that I want to fulfill.
I want to get what I want.
Why are you so serious all of a sudden?
Go on three public dates with me?
Then publicly dump me.
Don't you want to get married?
That's the reverse.
I have someone I love, he's a commoner.
You hate that kind of reference.
Since mother keeps saying commoner, commoner, so I didn't notice.
If you can do something like this for him, then you must love him very much.
Of course.
You are very brave, Hwang Yeon Ji.
But why should I make this deal with you?
Because we're friends.
MBA.
CEO.
Career in strategic management?
She's so smart.
If you keep searching, you'll find her even more amazing.
She has strong potentials, you know.
Now do you know why Head Manager Yoon views Byun So Ra
as the dirt on his feet, right?
We're going out for lunch.
Yes.
Why should you run away?
Noona, let me introduce you to my friend Byun So Ra.
I'm Byun So Ra from the marketing team.
That's not all, is it?
She's my girlfriend.
What is this, you player?!
She's joking.
Let's have lunch together. Chan Jin, join us.
It seems I have the instinct of a queen bee.
After hearing from Jun Su that he has a girlfriend, it dampened my mood a bit.
I'm not jealous, but my mood is just not that great.
I have a man I love already.
I was curious about who Jun Su is dating.
I'm the one who is curious
about whom you are dating to make you this self-destructive.
Self-destructive?
My mother could be listening in on us.
Madam Jang won't stoop that low.
You don't know my mother.
What don't I know?
She was so good to me.
You don't know that I am Jun Su's savior, right?
Here we go again.
When Jun Su was in primary school...
Yoon Ji.
His stepmother bullied him.
He was such a kind boy who just got pushed around like a fool.
Afterwards, I told the president so she got kicked out of the house.
Is that really true?
At that time, Jun Su hadn't come yet so you don't know.
If it wasn't for me who had that witch of a stepmother kicked out,
what would our Jun Su turn out to be today?
You have to be good to Jun Su, So Ra.
I will.
Noona.
I let Jun Su and his girlfriend leave first.
Really?
Chan Jin.
You have to be good to Jun Su.
Of course.
You say you will, and yet you looked at his girlfriend with those eyes?
Relationships between men, women, and money need to be dealt with separately.
I'm off now.
Jin Ju.
Did you wait long?
The interview will be quite straight forward because of Reporter Mi.
Sit down.
The head manager seems to be very close with his fiancée.
Yoon Ji noona and Jun Su hyung are just friends.
How can there be friends between men and women?
So Ra and I are friends.
You and So Ra have already crossed the lines a long time ago.
I admit I have, but what's wrong with So Ra?
You are so slow.
I think I'm being too greedy.
Why do you say that?
I felt really uncomfortable having lunch with Sunbae and that woman.
Why? Are you jealous?
How did you endure it before? Looking at me and Chan Jin...
I'm very forgiving.
So don't you dare give up on this person with a big heart or you'll regret it.
Go with me to the venue.
Today?
There's no reason to delay it anymore.
The president would be really against Head Manager and So Ra, right?
I'm worried about that too.
Is that why he is thinking of going to America with So Ra?
He said he wants to go with her to study and live together.
That's really his character.
If the president objects then he won't be able to go, right?
Anyway, the two of them will probably elope.
That means the days left between the head manager and So Ra won't be that many.
Are you not ready for the interview yet?
It's nearly ready.
Have I been ignoring Assistant Manager Song lately?
Of course not.
Are you dating these days?
Pardon?
Your skin looks better and you're following the fashion trend.
I've been working hard to follow your footsteps.
Do you know I want to develop you
into an important person in the company?
Thank you.
Lately, there's been a rumor around the company.
What kind of...?
Office romance.
So find out what is going on between Secretary Oh and Secretary Nam.
Do you understand?
I understand.
You may go.
Are you trying to bribe me?
This is the most expensive one from the company.
Ye Jin, you're all we've got.
You will protect us, right?
I don't know!
What should I do?
My job is probably in danger too!
Please help us, Ye Jin.
How great would it have been if you had been honest from the beginning.
If we did go public, then we wouldn't be here.
Director hates office romances.
Assistant Manager Song, could you go public with Manager Park?
Are you crazy?
I don't know! I don't know!
Anyway, you two better not get caught.
I will keep this secret of yours.
Thank you, Ye Jin!
When you first started, did you not feel any pressure from Seo Ju Kyung?
I never thought it would turn out like this.
At first I was just happy to hear about the award.
You were a normal white collar worker who turned into a professional model.
What has been the major change for you?
I'm still a white collar worker since I'm still the secretary of the head manager.
Because I have been away from my job a lot recently, Head Manager is complaining a lot.
I know this might sound like a silly question but,
what do you think about dating and marriage?
Also, are you dating anyone at the moment?
Actually, I suffered a heartbreak recently.
It was a one sided-love anyway.
Losing one will mean gaining another one.
Even though I missed my chance at love, I've since gained another dream.
It's still unbelievable that I'm doing an interview right now.
Chan Jin.
Everything can always be understood between friends, right?
So can you please try to understand me?
I don't want to hurt Jun Su sunbae.
So I want to keep my distance with you.
Is that what you want?
I think so.
I've noticed a lot of criticism too.
You should have said so earlier.
I was afraid you'd get angry.
Yes, Father.
I have something to tell you.
It's nothing to do with Chan Jin's mother.
It's to do with my marriage.
Let's go.
I'll get in trouble if I don't send this off to the publishers tonight.
It's all right, I'll take responsibility for it.
Sunbae, I only have a little bit more to do and then I'll be done.
You must come before 8pm.
I know.
Get up.
What's wrong?
There are no customers.
They will come soon.
What should I prepare? Noodles? Jamppong?
No, there's no need for that today.
Then why did you wake me up?
I was having a good dream.
Though a dream can be good, in the end you still need to wake up.
Love is like that as well.
Guest.
You're here.
What do you want to eat?
No need, just anything simple.
You don't look like you could eat anything.
Are you still at the office?
I'm done, I'm on my way now.
If you don't come now, I'll get angry.
All right, all right.
Oh, I nearly forgot!
Byun So Ra, you're such a rash person.
Throw it away, it's trash.
Is that why he is thinking of going to America with So Ra?
I don't want to hurt Jun Su sunbae.
So I want to keep my distance from you.
Keep some distance, some distance...
What is this?
Chan Jin's mother and the president?
January 15th...
That's Chan Jin's mother's anniversary.
If Director Kang knew how his mother died, then that would make matters worse.
Don't you want to stop them from becoming enemies?
You are the only one who can prevent that from happening.
There is a lot of evidence.
If it wasn't for the president, then I wouldn't be here today.
I'm thankful and grateful.
I will repay him.
Where are you?
Oh, my!
I am in love with someone.
Are you sure this girl will love you forever?
Byun So Ra, where are you?
You're not here and you're not answering your phone.
Why is he doing this to me?!
Director Kang! Director Kang! Director Kang!
Is Director Kang everything?!
Tell Byun So Ra to come and see me.
I thought you would be a very proactive person.
I guess I was wrong about you.
Director Kang's mother's death...
I've already sorted out everything.
Byun So Ra.
